The satisfaction is in the building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy bolts beat blocks here\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlocks come apart if you knock them. Bolted joints don't — which means a child gets a structure that \u003cstrong\u003eholds together and bears its own weight\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that is a very different feeling from stacking. Turning a nut down a thread is also proper wrist rotation practice, one of the two physical prerequisites for handwriting and among the hardest to drill deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it dismantles completely, it resets to zero every time.
